Deadlifts and More Deadlifts

Happy Monday, everyone!

I got my week off to a great start with some deadlifts. : )

1) Deadlift - 215 x 7, 195 x 7

2) Trap Bar Deadlift - 185 x 4 x 10 (185 lbs, 4 sets, 10 reps each)

3) Steep Decline Situps - 4 x 10

I hope everyone had an excellent Thanksgiving weekend. Be on the lookout for a great blog post sharing some Christmas gifts ideas. I should have it up in the next day or two.

I remember you once saying that the 'Trap Bar' deadlift was generally easier for most others, but something you didn't really take to.

Now that you're doing it a little, is it becoming as easy as the regular deadlift?

Oh Also: When you listed deadlifts below, in yr last several workouts, they are conventional, since you didn't specify, right?

It's not that it wasn't "easy" for me, it's just a little awkward. I decided to use it for higher rep work simply for a change of pace.

Yes, I've been doing most of my deadlifts conventional lately.
